The Server Option is an application programming interface (API) enabling the creation of mainframe applications for use with Sybase client applications. Server Option applications can retrieve and update data stored in mainframe resources like the following:
DB2 UDB and other relational database management systems (RDMSs)
Transient Storage (TS) queues
Transient Data (TD) queues
VSAM files
Any resource that is accessible from your CICS region is also accessible by a Server Option application. The Server Option is available for CICS, and IMS and MVS.
For information on how the Server Option functions
in the IMS TM and native MVS environments, see the Mainframe Connect
Server Option for IMS and MVS Installation and Administration
Guide.
